What is beech nut gum?

Beech nut gum is a type of chewing gum that is made from the resin of the beech tree. It has been popular in the United States since the late 19th century, and was originally marketed as a natural alternative to other chewing gums that were made from synthetic ingredients.

One of the unique characteristics of beech nut gum is its flavor. Unlike other chewing gums, which tend to have sweet or fruity flavors, beech nut gum has a distinct earthy and woody taste that many people find appealing.

In addition to its flavor, beech nut gum is also known for its texture. It has a smooth, creamy consistency that makes it easy to chew and provides a satisfying mouthfeel.

While beech nut gum is no longer as widely available as it once was, it is still produced by some companies and can be found in specialty stores and online retailers. Some people even enjoy making their own beech nut gum by collecting resin from beech trees and boiling it down to create a chewable paste.
